Cultural Resources
Diversity Internship Program
BE A HOST INTERN SPONSOR
Proposal
Application deadline: December 1, 2008
The National Park Service invites you
to submit project proposals to the Cultural Resources Diversity Internship
Program for Summer 2009.
Program Goals
The Cultural Resources Diversity Internship Program provides career
exploration opportunities to diverse undergraduate and graduate students in
historic preservation and cultural resources work. The program also gives
National Park Service offices, national park units, government agencies at
all levels, and private nonprofit organizations an opportunity to meet
promising young people who might choose a career in this field. The
National Park Service cooperates with intern sponsors to provide interns
with quality work experiences.
How the Program Works
During the 2008 session, the Cultural Resources Diversity Internship
Program will sponsor from 15 to 18 interns during a 10-week summer session.
The
cost is shared on a 50/50 basis between the National Park Service and the
host intern sponsor. The total
cost for each summer intern is $11,062.
Thus, intern sponsors are expected to contribute $5,531 toward the cost of a summer intern. Each amount will be
matched by the National Park Service and all funds will be deposited at the
Student Conservation Association (SCA), which handles intern
recruitment, intern application processing, payroll, and career mentoring.
For the summer intern portion of the
program, we are planning to hold a three-day Career Workshop in Washington, DC,
during the tenth week of the summer session, the cost for which will be
covered by the National Park Service.
